GEORGE W. GIEFERS, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

CIGARETTE HOLDER.

Application filed December 5, 1925. Serial No. 73,396.

The object of this invention is to provide an efficient, useful and ornamental cigarette holder of the type wherein the cigarette 1s iield intermediate its ends by grip like memers.

I attain these objects by simple and ornamental construction illustrated in the accompanying drawings in which ig. 1 isa perspective view of the assembled holder engaging a cigarette.

Fig. '2 is a view of the disassembled parts.

Fig. 3 is a front view showing the jaws in an open position. The dotted lines show the jaws in a closed position, as when not in use. V

In the drawings, A indicates a stem the upper portion being cut away on one side so that its cross section is half the cross section of the lower portion of the stem. B is a flat obtuseangular jaw, CO, perfora EE and FF, said spring riveted to stem A through CO in stem and BE in spring, G a lever its terminal having a fiat obtuseangular jaw, its other end having an offset lug K. This end of the lever is riveted to the end of spring D, through perforations FF in spring and JJ in lever; thus disposing the spring D between the stem A and lever G, maintaining the obtuseangular jaws of stem A and lever G in abutting relation to securely hold a cigarette. M is an appendage in the shape of a ball. 7

When it is desired to place a cigarette within the holder, it is merely necessary to press on the offset lug which forces the fulcrum against the spring; upper part of the lever away from the stem admitting of the cigarette being placed'between the jaws of the stem and lever.

Upon placing cigarette the lug is released permitting the spring to unflex which forces the lever toward the stern; thus causing the lever jaw to force the cigarette against the stem jaw and holding it firmly in position.

at I claim is In a cigarette holder the combination of a stem having at its one end a stationary, obtuseangular jaw, and at its opposite end an appendage to form a handle; a lever having at its one end a stationary, obtuse angular jaw and at set lug forming a fulcrum, at which end, the one end of a flat spring is fastened. The

other end of the said spring being fastened centrally to the said stem so as to bring the obtuseangular jaws into a position opposite each other.
